Introduction

During the middle of 2011 a combined exercise was conducted at Shoalwater Bay in central Queensland, near Rockhampton. As part of the activity the Australian and US forces had an Open Day in Rockhampton to show of various pieces of equipment. Luckily Ben O'Dowd was there to capture a large number of images of this M1A1 Abrahms for us all.
